very close contact between the two species. When the cetacean morbillivirus infects the host cell‚ it stays in the infected host for only a short time after infection (Ohishi 186). Once a host cell gets infected with the cetacean morbillivirus‚ the virus can be spread from animal to animal by contact with infected animals through entry of the eyes‚ stomach‚ and mouth‚ wounds in the skin‚ or reproductive tract. The cetacean morbillivirus can also be transmitted from an infected animal to a healthy host

One Health- Exam One 1. A) Why is the One Health paradigm important? The One Health initiative is a change in basic assumptions that focuses on surveillance of the environment‚ animals‚ and humans to predict occurrence of an outbreak before it happens. This is important in improving the health of communities because preventative measures will be used and it also makes people aware of what could happen if preventative measures were not taken. Scientists and doctors worldwide collaborate to develop

fungi‚ and bacteria. Viruses that infect bacteria are called bacteriophages‚ or phages. The nucleic acid of a virus is protected by a protein coat called the capsid. Each capsid is composed of protein subunits called capsomeres. In some viruses‚ the capsid is covered by an envelope‚ which usually consists of some combination of lipids‚ proteins‚ and carbohydrates. Depending on the virus‚ envelopes may or may not be covered by spikes‚ which are carbohydrate-protein complexes that project from the

The virus known as Measles There are many viruses today that at one time were a deadly disease‚ however because of advances in technology and vaccinations‚ we no longer give them a second thought. Prior to the discovery of a vaccination‚ the United States reported a total of over 50‚000 cases of measles outbreaks each year with 450-500 cases resulting in death. (NCIRD) Since the disbursement of an effective vaccination‚ the measles has been almost eradicated in the United States; however it is

what’s the difference between a bacteria and a virus. A bacterium is one of the three living domains of life. It is a prokaryote which means it does not house a nucleus or membrane-bounded organelles. However‚ it does have a nucleoid region where the DNA is stored. It can be said that bacteria is more like us because they can share their DNA with one another through conjugation and even pick up other DNA through transformation. On the other hand‚ a virus is not made up of cells. They are acellular.

More commonly known “kennel cough” virus‚ it can be easily spread through contact at dog parks and grooming facilities. Bordetella bronchiseptica is a highly contagious bacterium causing a virus that affects a large number of dogs across all parts of the globe. Tracheobronchitis is brought on through bacteria that affect the dog’s upper respiratory system. After exposure‚ clinical signs of Bordetella bronchiseptica can been seen within 2-14 days with the virus lasting normally from 14-20 days. The

Located on the cell surface or in endosomal membranes = recognize conserved structures found in pathogens ii. Highly conserved receptors from flies humans iii. Most mammals have between 10-15 (humans = 10) iv. TLR – 2: lipoproteins/glycoproteins (mealsels‚ hepB‚ herpes) v. TLR– 3: dsRNA (west

animallike and funguslike. A virus is a microscopic particles that make up either DNA or RNA core covered by a protein coat. Viruses are so small an electrn microscope is needed to see them. Viruses are not classified in any kingdom because they are not cells. They show almost none of the characteristics of living things. The classification of viruses are based on it’s shape‚ the kind of nucleic acid it contains‚ and the type of organism the virus infects. The protein coat of a virus gives the particle it’s

Varicella zoster virus is a double stranded icosahedral‚ nucleocapsid DNA molecule‚ with a lipid envelope enclosing it. Varicella zoster virus develops a latent infection in the neurons of the sensory ganglia. Primary infection causes varicella (chickenpox)‚ and reactivation of the virus causes a latent infection known as herpes zoster (shingles). Varicella is more common in children. Infection in adults is more severe and can lead to interstitial pneumonia. It is also more frequent in immunocompromised

A bacteriophage (informally‚ phage) is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. The term is derived from ’bacteria’ and the Greek φαγεῖν phagein "to devour". Bacteriophages are composed of proteins that encapsulate a DNA or RNA genome‚ and may have relatively simple or elaborate structures. Their genomes may encode as few as four genes‚ and as many as hundreds of genes. Phage replicate within bacteria following the injection of their genome into the cytoplasm. Bacteriophage are among
